To 'ALL WHoM IT MAY ooNoERN: t v

Be it known that I, THOMAS PAYNE, of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent, `and State of Michigan, have invented a new and improved Ghurn; and I do hereby 'declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled inthe art to mnke'and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved churn ofv that class in which a rotary dasher is employed, and it'consists in a novel manner of constructing the dasher, as hereinafter fullyshown and described, whereby it isv believed that the cream is acted upon in a more favorable manner than hitherto for the expeditious prodiiction of superior butter. In the accompanying sheetfof drawings- Figure 1 is-a vertical central section of my invention. Figure 2, a detached horizontal section of the dasher. Similar letters'oil reference-indicate corres'pondingzparts.

A represents the cream-receptacle, which I naybeprovided with a suitable lid or 'coveril and-within the receptacle there'is placed a vertical shaft, C,Awhich extends up centrally through theV lid or cover, and has a pinion, D, upon it, into which a wheel, E, gears, the latter being on a horizontal shaft, F, the hearings of which are attached to the sidesof the cream-receptacle. The shaft-F has a crank, G, at one end, for the convenience of turning it. The portion ofthe shaft C withinthe cream-receptacle is of'square form, and has a' series of beaters, H, attached ohliquely to it, the heaters at 'the opposite sides of the shaft being in reverse positions, so that they will cross eehh other, as shown clearly in iig. 1. -'.lthcse beaters thus arranged form a sort of -rigid netting or lattice-work, which operates in the most eiiicient manner in thc cream,'so as to cause the butter topbe reduced within a verl limited tinie, and without breakin the rain "of the butter, so as .to render the-sanie- P y g g oily and insipid. y

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is The oblique heaters H, attached to the rotating shaft C in the cream-receptacle, substantially in the manner as and for the purpose herein set forth.
